Homeless encampment spotted near poorly-lit stairs

A group of homeless men appear to be living off the stairs on N 43rd St between Palatine and Greenwood Ave in a small encampment. The stairs lead to and from the #5 Metro route. There have been no reports of trouble so far but as the days get darker earlier, a Fremont Universe reader sent us an email just so neighbors aren’t caught by surprise.

This is not a well-lit area and people frequent it to and from the bus stop. It makes me nervous, and I thought the more people are aware the better.

Thanks for the tip, Morgan.

What stairs?

Yes, how about a cross street? Palatine and Greenwood run parallel all the way from the ship canal to north of 105th st.
